Roland Backing Keyboard BK-9Roland BK-9 Backing Keyboard
For a few years now Roland has been producing instruments like the BK7, BK5 and now their new flagship arranger – the BK9. BK indicates the instrument is a “Backing Keyboard” and this is the market that is ideally suited for this instrument. The first think you will notice about the BK9 is the 76-note keyboard and super lightweight construction. If you are looking for an instrument to gig with then BK9 is perfect. This is the first keyboard I’ve been able to pick up with just one hand and not just a 5-octave keyboard either! You would think that being so light, the build quality would suffer in some way, but no, the BK9 is beautifully constructed and the keyboard as a great feel to it. For this feature alone the keyboard gets a big 10 out of 10 – as it really is a pick up and go instrument.

Guitar Effect Pedal » BOSS » Single Stombox » Digital Delay Reverb

Even with the best-selling delays in compact-pedal history, BOSS continues to push the envelope and innovate. The new DD-7 takes the best features from its predecessors and expands the creative potential with Modulation Delay mode, classic modeled Analog Delay mode, External pedal control options, longer delay time, and more.

The RV-5 offers six of BOSS' best reverbs ever—in stereo. This makes it possible to connect after other pedals that feature stereo outputs. New reverbs include convincing spring reverb emulation and a high-quality gate reverb. More spacious reverb sounds can be had using the newly developed Modulate mode. And thanks to its dual inputs, the RV-5 even works for keyboard players.
